With the sale of Theo Hernandez now imminent, AC Milan are beginning to think about who could replace him at left-back.
According to the latest from Di Marzio, negotiations are continuing between Milan and Al-Hilal for Theo Hernandez. There have been positive contacts between the two clubs on the transfer fee, after an agreement with the defender over personal terms was found.

There are still some details to be sorted out between the two clubs but the aim is to close the deal quickly, and the base transfer fee will be around €25m, with bonuses on top. Now, the hunt to replace him begins.
Theo out, Zinchenko in?
Speaking on Sky (via MilanNews) last night during the Calciomercato l’Originale programme, Di Marzio added some further information about a target the Rossoneri have in mind: Oleksandr Zinchenko of Arsenal.
“Zinchenko is a profile that the new coach appreciates a lot. In fact, Allegri, who appreciates his tactical versatility above all, would have given the ok for this operation. He remains a hot name,” he said.
The Ukraine international has just one year left on his deal so the transfer fee should not be a problem for Milan. In the meantime, there continues to be links with more ambitious profiles, like Destiny Udogie of Spurs and Maxim De Cuyper of Club Brugge.
RIP left flank
I’d rather a different profile from Serie A… ideally an Italian (maybe a senior LB) to guide Bartesaghi eventually
Another bust…..like ROYAL….😂😂😂😂😂
I’d like to give Allegri the trust he probably deserves, but this transfer is nonsense.
All I hear is Allegri !!!!! That squarehead admin of Sempre Milan, u do know Allegri also known as the talent killer, the hater of pure talent don’t u ? That man baried more talent than any coach in the history of football !!! He ended PIRLO’s Milan career because he wanted van bomel as his regista lol !!! Think about it, the greatest central midfielder of ALL TIME Pirlo. Then he went to Juventus and u know what happened when he did. He ended PATO !!! Alexander freaking Pato when he put him in the bench because ibrahimovic is a jealous little man. He ended Ronaldinho’s Milan career. He went to Juventus and ended Dybala, Douglas Costa, sent Koman to Bayern Munic to play Manzokitc in the wing and ended Claudio Marchisio Juventus career for Sami Khedira !!! Should I keep going ? This man is the worst most boring short sided manager of all time. He won 1 league tittle when Milan had an army of talented players and then won with Juventus when Juventus was already built by Conte and by then Juve was basically playing alone in a weak league !!!!! u will see what that man is gonna do to Milan, again, that’s what happens when clown americans run our Club
Theo is a rarity these days so whoever u get will not be able to deliver the style of offensive play he brought to the team. Theo did become inconsistent but that has other factors at play more than his attitude which is a problem.
Saying all of that, Zinchenko is a good player when you consider his offensive style of play and he has a way better attitude along with that. He has also won trophies. So I wouldn’t be opposed to having him at the club.
The only people who would opposed this move are fans who are dead set on seeing Italians play at AC Milan no matter if there is a better player in Europe for the same or better price or the sort of fan who undervalues Zinchenko because they have seen a little bit of his style of play and have a noticed that Arsenal doesn’t use him anymore.
I promise you that Milan will feel the lose of Theo, but Zinchenko can bring enough to make the left side a bit more dynamic.
Dude, Zinchenko is not that “dynamic” and is always injured plus has high wages. If we are going to spend that kind of money, get a player that is worth it.
Bro, I get that you’re being objective/diplomatic, but this guy isn’t it.
Mentally fragile, injury prone and not the best defensively. Yes he ‘inverts’ and comes into mid field, but at best he’s decent.
Emerson and Zinchenko on the flanks? All the wingers would be licking their lips! I hope this doesn’t go through.
Another trash player
Unbelievable. What a bunch of idiots. Antonino Gallo from Leece is way better than Zinchenko. Smh
Crap, he is injury prone . He is also have high salary in arsenal. Better try tavarez from lazio or italian LB
Crippled, old, untalented and expensive for what it is…
I preferred Zappacosta from Atalanta which
is free if I’m not mistaken, for two seasons, meanwhile we can search for a young talented with bright future ahead and develop him.
Zinchenko is expensive fir his age and we will not be able to reseal him after one or two years. Waisted money
Throw **** at the wall see if any of it sticks.
Seems Alegri is stuck 10years in to the past with the players he wants. Lets hope his tactics are up to date.
Kerkez?
